Close combat range/reach for weapons and combat animations need to be moded, Player villagers are way too weak vs bandits /raids+ they dont react help guards ..even if they flagged as reserve <<<need fix for that!

I know this is not the ideal place to post this, but I cannot find it anywhere else. Stackoverflow literally blocked the question because of its content, and it further punished me by NOT LETTING ME SEARCH FOR IT. Worthless garbage website. Now, when I was getting my programming degree, the professor did NOT talk efficiency with us. You've noticed all the complaints about people making highly inefficient spaghetti code? The reason for that is so that if an employer needs your code tweaked, they'll probably have to call you to do it rather than hiring someone else. Seriously. Because of this, our professor literally encouraged us to make spaghetti code, and even screw around making programs to come up with our own distinct style to further ensure our codes would be impossible for another to decipher. Point is, I know nothing about what makes code efficient. I've heard you should minimize if-then statements, but I've found them hard to avoid. Even if I do find an alternative, I have no clue if its actually better or not. Just for an example, let's say you're making a card game, where the cards can have all manner of effects. I've come up with two different ways to handle this. One is to use a chain of if-then statements (no else statements since cards can have more than one effect), that check to see which ability a played card has one by one and executes the appropriate lines of code. Another way would be to just have cards have variables indicating such things like how many cards you should draw or how much damage the card deals, among many other things. When a card is played, the program then goes through every possible affect executing them one by one with few if any if-then statements (I figured some things may still require an if-then statement; why have the player chose a target when the card has no ability that needs a target?). Here, literally every line will execute, while with the solution that involves if-then statements, every if-then statement will be tested by only one or two of them will have their conditions meant. So, which would be better? I have no idea. I do not know the execution time of any command. I can often come up with half a dozen different ways of doing things but I have no clue which is better. What I need is a list that orders all the possible commands in every language I know based on efficiency. I thought about making this myself, but I can't find anyway to assign the system clock to a variable so I could make such a test program. What constitutes 'better'? I know I can minimize the number of lines, but I've found that often makes highly convoluted code. Besides, is it really better? If you have 100 print statements, would it be more efficient or not to just have a for-loop iterate 100 times? That would reduce the lines, but would that really be more efficient? I have no clue. I know nothing about this. The internet doesn't seem to want you to know this either. Wtf? If I could only pull the system clock, I could find this on my own. I could do something like a=system clock line of code b=system clock print(type of code, b-a) That's all I want, but I cannot get that. I think I could do this in c++, but that obviously won't help me with pygame. Why am I not allowed to know this? Why? How can I possibly find it? Is it just forbidden to make efficient code? Why then do you get trolled all the time for it? What types of commands are more efficient than others? I have absolutely no idea.

Everyone in this game talks so slowly with such long breaks in between their lines of dialogue. They would probably sound more natural if the game engine just hit like 1.5x speed during dialogue and/or cut out the long pauses. Somewhat related, but traders talk/quip/snark has quickly grown tiresome and a "hold e to trade" function instead of having to cut through a couple dialogue trees before I can unload my garbage would be a godsend. thanks you modders you're absolute legends :thumbsup:

Hi everyone, i'm about to start this journey with mods. I'm going to play it like a survival game and I want to ask which is the best way to install a bunch of mods in order to avoid crashing. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!
